A {{KW|REDIM}} statement can re-dimension one [[$DYNAMIC|dynamic]](flexible) [[Arrays|array]] or a [[comma]] separated list of arrays.
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{PageSyntax}}
|
|
:[[REDIM]] [{{KW|_PRESERVE}}] [{{KW|SHARED}}] ArrayName[''typesuffix''] ({''max_element''|low_element[{{KW|TO}} ''upper_element'', ...]}) [{{KW|AS}} {{KW|TYPE|Type}}]

{{PageDescription}}
|
|
* Can change the number of elements in an array (the present array data is lost unless [[_PRESERVE]] is used).
|
|
* Dynamic array elements can also be sized or resized by a program user's entry.
|
|
* The [[_PRESERVE]] option also allows the ''element'' range values to be moved upward or downward in '''QB64 only!'''
|
|
* {{Parameter|Array}} is the name of the array to be dimensioned or re-dimensioned.
|
|
* {{Parameter|elements}} is the number of elements the array should hold. Use the optional [[TO]] {{Parameter|elements2}} to set a range.
|
|
* '''Always use the same array [[TYPE]] suffix ([[AS]] type) or a new array type with the same name may be created.'''
|
|
* REDIM cannot change [[$STATIC]] arrays created with a [[DIM]] statement unless the [[$DYNAMIC]] [[Metacommand]] is used!
|
|
* To create a dynamic array use the [[$DYNAMIC]] metacommand or use [[REDIM]] rather than [[DIM]] when first creating the array.
|
|
* Use REDIM [[_PRESERVE]] to change the range or number of array elements without losing the remaining elements. Data may move up or down to accommodate those boundary changes.
|
|
* '''REDIM [[_PRESERVE]] cannot change the number of array dimensions or type!'''
|
|
* [[$DYNAMIC|Dynamic]] arrays MUST be [[REDIM]]ensioned if [[ERASE]] or [[CLEAR]] are used to clear the arrays as they no longer exist.
|
|
* When [[AS]] is used to declare the type, use [[AS]] to retain that type or it will change to [[SINGLE]]!
|
|
* '''NOTE: Many QBasic keyword variable names CAN be used with a [[STRING]] suffix($) ONLY! You CANNOT use them without the suffix, use a numerical suffix or use [[DIM]], [[REDIM]], [[_DEFINE]], [[BYVAL]] or [[TYPE]] variable [[AS]] statements!'''
|
|
* '''Warning! Do not use negative array upper bound index values as OS access or "Out of Memory" [[ERROR Codes|errors]] will occur!'''
|
|
|

|
''Example 1:'' The [[$DYNAMIC]] Metacommand allows an array to be re-sized using [[DIM]] and REDIM.

: ''Explanation:'' REDIM without _PRESERVE erases the array data and cannot change the number of dimensions.
